NMJ Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 I am very surprised to see insinuations that the Trad Gear I have offered for sale may be stolen or acquired by some other nefarious means. That gear was acquired by me from 1991 to 1996. Early pieces were purchased from REI and a local shop in Auburn, AL. Later pieces were purchased via pro-deal discounts when I was an esteemed employee of Sportrock, a climbing gym in the D. C. area. Later, I taught briefly at Stone Gardens in Seattle. My name is Norm Jacobowitz and I live in Seattle. I quit climbing in 1998 when I became an avid motorcycle rider. The gear was last used in 1997. As for the individual who accused me of stealing gear from Squamton, I suggest you be more judicious in your accusations. Quote
Sphinx Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Chill, people around here like to stir up shit. Don't take ANYTHING on this board personally. FYI. Quote
Attitude Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Hi Norm, Gear gets stolen. People sell stolen gear. One example. I'm shocked that you're surprised. Where did you climb around Auburn? I've climbed further north in Alabama at a place I think was called Sandrock? It's been awhile. Quote
NMJ Posted August 27, 2003 Author Posted August 27, 2003 yeah, sandrock is a great place to climb. the sandstone erodes into funny shapes like gym holds. little river canyon is great there too. i used to boulder at an area underneath the tallassee dam ... it's closed now. Quote
NMJ Posted August 27, 2003 Author Posted August 27, 2003 i guess i am just not used to the culture of this board. i only get pissed off if someone impugns my integrity. if they had said something like "your momma sucks for bucks down at the bus station" or similar, i would have laughed my ass off. norm Quote
Sphinx Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 OK, here you go: your Mama blows dogs for quarters and used cams at the bus station. Quote

Why don't you change you avatar to sphincter!? Actually, my scorn should be directed toward the two who accused this fine citizen of rippin people off without due process. The lynch mob around here is pretty quick to form. How about an inquiring PM before the lynching? Edited August 27, 2003 by Bug Quote
Attitude Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 PM to anonymous gear seller: Did you steal the rack? PM reply: No. I guess that settles that. Quote

Bug Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Uh Huh. Let me guess, you didn't do well in creative writing? How about, "Hey I'm interested in some of that gear. Did you buy it new? " Or variations..... Anyway, its only a thought with a little opinion behind it (or visa versa?). Peace dude. Quote
